“When I hear a foreign accent, I hear effort; where I see difference, there is courage; where I see discrimination there is resilience; where I see denied dignity, I see strength and survival.” theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Absolutely loving taking my gorgeous NZ nephews on a tour of UK cities with universities they’re interested in applying to 💚

In 2012 I did my first ever writing exercise for Bernardine Evaristo - to write about a public place. I came to Heathrow Terminal 3 where I was collecting my husband after a business trip. Today I’m back, collecting my NZ nephews and yesterday my editor signed off my second novel 😍

Great opportunity for an Assistant Editor looking to step up and commission across a broad range of Fiction, working with a very lovely team (and me) at a dynamic independent publisher

A wonderful review for a wonderful book 🧡

Now I’ve seen this Cailean Steed I cannot un-need it either 😭

I binge-read Le Fay - the second book in the Sophie Keetch (semi-hiatus) ✨PRE-ORDER LE FAY NOW✨ trilogy about Morgan Le Fay and a magnificent follow up to #MorganIsMyName

Dark, thrilling, heartbreaking and beautifully written.
